Costume: For our costume we have a halo, a pretty dress, knitted scarf, bracelets and a wand for it's hand!
Build Robot
We found it quite difficult to build the robot, there was so many parts and so many instructions to follow. As a group we got it done quickly and quietly while being co-operative with other members os the group.
Explore robot educator
In the second week we had the chance to explore robot educator. It is a fun and exciting program that helps up to improve our robot and use our brains. We found robot educator is a program that programs your robots knowledge to its ability.
Pedestrian challenge
The pedestrian challenge was very challenging as for we had to make the robot go to a certain distance and come to a stop on a line, we just missed the target. For that task we got a 8 ,which was pretty good for our effort.
360 turn
The 360 turn was a exciting and interesting task which made us use our mathematical abililities. To figure our perfect 5 worthy marked 360 turn out we challenged our selves. We realised when we did put the degrees on 360 it only did a half turn so then we new that if we doubled the number being 720 it would be a perfect circle (360 turn). For this task we got full marks 5/5.
Snake
In the snake challenge there was a lot of problem solving and it took us a while to do. We used loop turn to accomplish the snake and when we got it evenly to the half way mark and went to reverse it we realised that we would have to do the opposite of what we did on the way up. For this activity we got full marks 5/5.
Shimmy
For the shimmy we got a 4 1/2 because it didn't land in the exact spot but atleast we are still getting high marks. It was a very challenging task but we managed to get it done
2-D shape- nonagon
For our nonagon we learnt to take it one step at a time. We worked throught it slowly and found it quite easy. Then we decided we partly know what our dance is going to look like so lets try a harder shape and we can get a higher mark for it. We have partly finished and next week we will just make an adjustment and we will get it as we know what we have done wrong.

Today we completed a nonagon. It was a really fun activity were we got to choose a 2D shape of our choice. We choose a nonagon because we wanted to receive a 5/5. Guess what we got? 5/5!!!!!!! Our robot was VERY inconsistant today and me, Sophie and Macy were very angry! But the we praised it for getting 5. We actually got a 4 1/2 at the start but we were very puzzled because we tried it 3 times and it stayed in the right spot. So we tried again and it worked! So we got it re-marked and it worked! so we got a 5!

Today we choose and discussed our song, we listened and planned and we hope everything goes to plan!!
We also decided a few moves that are in time with our music we decided our song to be Halo/walking on sunshine. COPYRIGHTED!!
22/11/2011
Today we started our dance. It was just me and Macy today as for Sophie was at the gala day.We came up with a full minute! We created a few of
our own moves as well as copied the shimy,snake,360 turn and nonagon. All We need to do is make the moves sharper and faster.
29/11/2011
Today we came up with more of our dance. We made our moves faster and sharper by making the power stronger
We also discussed the costume and whos making what. We added a few extra moves and fixed up what needed to be fixed.
